This hop is full of amazing projects that will surely inspire you.If you are a fan of our Silly Monsters set, you will love the new and super fun INCOGNITO set. With this set you can mix and match features and accessories on one of the sweet little creatures.

I used the matching INCOGNITO die to cut out my creature, then fussy cut the hat and glasses. I also used the Stitching Mark Circle die and the new BIG BALLOON DIE set for that fun Happy Birthday die cut sentiment on the front. The bright paper is Doodlebug Sun kissed collection.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.

New stamps and dies used:

My second card features some a yummy popsicle image from the ZERO CALORIES stamp set. I stamped the image out 4 times, Coloured them with Copics and fussy cut them out. There is a die set for this stamp also. After cutting them, I used a single hole punch to create my "bite" marks. The popsicles are adhered to the card with dimensional adhesive and then Glossy Accents were applied to give the shine.

Inside the I used the dies for this set to create these popsicles. The fun paper is from Pebbles called Fun in the Sun.

Incognito is so cute! I AM a fan of silly monsters -- I have two sets. This set will definitely have to go on my wish list. I also LOVE that YNS offers a selection of faces to customize the images -- I also have a couple of their other faces stamps. Such a clever concept!

Hi Tracy! Both cards are just WAYYYYY too much FUN! That little slug in her sunglasses had me giggling out loud. LOVE the popsicle expressions and the perfect paper you found to go with it. Great inspiration - thanks!

Hi Tracy ~ Really enjoyed the design of both your cards and the way you carried the design over inside the cards as well. The Stitching Mark Circle Die was perfect to accent the adorable "monster" and the paper behind the monster almost made me think this was a shaker card. Clever use of the circle punch to take bites out of the popsicles used in the 2nd card. Fun colors and the addition of Glossy Accents always brings something special to the card. Well done.
